CLEMSON – Linebacker James Skalski sees disrespect when he sees the current college football rankings, but he also sees an opportunity. Why? Because no one remembers September. It’s all about how you finish in November.
Clemson dropped four spots to No. 25 in the Coaches Poll released this week and is out of the AP Poll after posting a 3-2 record during the season’s first five weeks. Clemson was punished and plummeted in the rankings – 17 spots in one poll - after losing to NC State, while other programs drop just a few spots in the same scenario.
